Bon Voyage Richard!

Bon Voyage Richard Armitage! Richard Tweets that his Final Journey to Hobbiton begins! I wonder what it’s like to fly on a plane that features your face on the side of its fuselage? Surely an extra bag of peanuts….

Radio Interview

The Picture Show on NewsTalk Radio FM

Saturday November 29th, 2014

Richard talks to Irish radio presenter Philip Molloy on The Picture Show at NewsTalk Radio FM. Richard revisits how he was cast in The Hobbit films by Peter Jackson and also talks about what he has coming up next in his career. What could it be?

Richard never fails to stop and take time for the fans. It’s incredibly admirable and the reason why he has such a loyal following.

Signing autographs…and always with a smile.

Richard’s first interview of the night. Always with great composure despite being nervous just ‘five minutes ago’.

Richard commented that he was ‘excited, nervous and a little bit emotional’ on this milestone night that celebrated 15 years of Peter Jackson’s work. Having seen the film, Richard said that it “rips your heart out.” We have no doubt! We are hearing brilliant things about his performance as Thorin! Oscar, are you listening?

The incredible cast of “The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies”…gathered together, perhaps for #OneLastTime.

Press Tour Day 2

After an exciting night that included the worldwide premiere of the most hotly anticipated film of the year…plus a bit of partying afterwards one can only hope…there was NO rest for the weary. Onward! Press Junket Day 2.

A Brief Detour ForThe Crucible Premiere!

As if beginning a worldwide promotional tour for The Hobbit wasn’t enough…Richard pulled double duty on this day when he attended the premiere for his West End production of Arthur Miller’s The Crucible where he gave the most brilliantly intense portrayal of John Proctor I’ve ever seen.

I too shall miss the adventure we have all been on. Mr. Armitage gave life to Thorin that I did not expect, which is why this film will be so hard to watch, yet it is a must see…Thank you Mr. Armitage for allowing us to see into the heart and soul of Thorin Oakenshield…Well done sir…

Looking forward to Battle of the Five Armies. I fell in love with Thorin when I was 13 years old. Richard Armitage reminded me why. Richard brings Thorin to life so beautifully and adds such a complexity to him that I could never have imagined. I have enjoyed every second of Thorin’s journey. Thank you, Richard, for bringing one of my favorite characters to life so spectacularly! Hugs and best wishes! Kate

can’t wait till dec 17th here in the states..as heartbreaking as it is, hope the end stays true to Tolkein. there could be another movie from the appendices!!Have said before,,the floodgates will open for our tears remembering this epic throughout the years.

I love your/his cookie sense of humour his compassion for those less fortunate than himself and others and the obvious love he has for his amazing family. To whom it shone so much at the UK premier.
Thank you and everyone who made The Hobbit for bringing the characters to life not just for us , but for future generations of Tolkien fans.
For all the work you have done that gives pleasure to all who watch and follow you. Thank you.
Im off to finally see The Crucible, again something I feel many would not have been able to witness if not for You and and Ms Faber. So for that Thank you.
Enjoy, and relax on that ski trip you have promised yourself.

Thank you Richard for the great work you have done and thank you for the wonderful words you posted for us, now on Christmas time.
You are indeed not only a beautiful man but a beautiful person on the inside as well and I hope nothing in the world will change this about you.
Since your career is increasingly fruitful, I would dare to ask you not to change yourself too much into a “Hollywoodian star” and forget those three values that you appreciate most in life: humor, compassion and empathy. And, please do not forget that you are a British actor, which I personally value greatly!
May you have a successful career ahead and a merry, merry Christmas!

Amazing scrapbook! Great job documenting it, Marlise! What an incredible journey it has been. A big thanks to Richard for taking us along on the ride …. It has been a true privilege. 😊. Bring on our next journey, Richard! We will always follow you… #OneLastTime . ❤️ Congratulations, Sir Richard Crispin Armitage! 👏😘
